This poor car...I give the guy credit for investing TONS of money (literally...LOL) into this car..but I could think of much better ways to spend the money....SMH

To each their own, but he should paint the stock rims black and put that thing back on the ground where it belongs.

And how many speakers can you hear at once?... :ack:

It's almost kinda cool... but not quite. I like the originality of it, and I like the color.

The rims are sort of like wearing a 40 pound diamond ring on your finger. It's like just throw practicality out the window in favor of slapping good taste right across the mouth. I don't care how big your rims are, the looking *fook* retarded.

Without rims and less crazy color I'd say it's pretty awesome. Oh and kill all that jazzed up interior.

Lololololololololollolol! If that's the case that guys hit the big time in "The Game." Because the little ones just get busted. As for the car, take away the rims and interior and bring it back to stock. And I'd rock it. :hit it:
I'm backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!

It's an interesting car for sure. I would never buy it or roll it but it's always cool to see what people come up with.

Agreed,lose the corny Donk wheels along with the loud color and interior speakers and it would actually look nice....I wonder if the owners day job presents a risk to his life and freedom?

Idk, the color isn't bad. I wouldn't paint a car that color, but I wouldn't hate it either... It's just those wheels and the gratuitous speakers that bother me. Would be awesome if he had also made a top for the car, removable hardtop even.

Removable hardtop would be awesome and somehow I suspect that the owner could easily have one made.
